Ayie has struggled with bipolar disorder since childhood due to abuse by her father. Her condition worsened after being bullied online, leading to a suicide attempt. Although she continued teaching, her mental health issues caused criticism and stigma. Her sister Ingga's support helped Ayie, but Ingga was later found to have an undiagnosed mental illness herself and committed suicide. Ayie hopes her sister's death will encourage more open discussion of mental health issues.
